Della Duck quotes from DuckTales (2017)

Della

Merry Christmas, boys. I'll see you soon.

Della

[unable to move the debris from her leg] Ah, phooey.

Della

I'm home.

Roxanne Featherly

And so Duckburg is saved, thanks to Scrooge McDuck, and his family.

Della Duck

[gasp] Boys?

Della

Where are my--? [gasps as she spots her sons with Webby; then smiles warmly]

Dewey

Who's the cyborg?

Huey

Is that…?

Louie

It can't be.

Webby

Guys, I think that's your mom.

Scrooge

Huey, Dewey, Louie, meet Della Duck.

Dewey

[chuckles] I'm part robot! I knew it!

Della

Wait. Huey, Dewey, and Louie? No, no, no. Their names were supposed to be Jet, Turbo, and Rebel.

Dewey

I could've been Turbo?!

Della

I told Donald. I wrote it down, in case no one could understand him.

Dewey

I COULD'VE BEEN TURBO?!?!

Scrooge

I'm sure you learned... something.

Della

No. Not this time.

Louie

What? But I really am sorry! We hugged and everything!

Della

I watched your brothers blink out of existence because you wanted a shortcut to riches!

Louie

I said I was sorry!

Della

You took off in that contraption without thinking about the consequences, or the people you would hurt!

Louie

[annoyed] I wonder who I got that from.

Launchpad

Oh...

Beakley

See here, young man.

Della

[holds up her hand] (Beakley, I got this.) Your little scheme to bypass the present almost cost us our future. This all stops now! You are grounded! No schemes, no treasures, and Louie Incorporated is done! Understand?!

Louie

Look, let me clean up, okay? Uncle Scrooge? Mrs. B? Come on!

Della

To…your…room!

Louie

[kicks the Time Tub; muttering grumpily as he walks upstairs to his bedroom] Stupid perfect scheme.

Louie

Okay, being grounded forever isn't so bad. I've got my phone, my phone is also a TV, which is nice. [turns on his phone, only seeing his mother on screen]

Louie

Way ahead of you! [whips out a tablet that belonged to Huey] Thank you, Huey!

Della

Nice try. The dictionary defines "grounding" as-

Louie

[launches the tablet away and crosses his arms; huffing] Oh, man...

Louie

You're heading to Big Rock Candy Mountain? Oh, I am going.

Della

No, you are still grounded.

Louie

What? No, WHAT?

Scrooge

Err, come on kids, let's finish packing.

Louie

Big Rock Candy Mountain is the laziest quest of all time! It's my dream.

Della

Your last "dream" made you take treasure from the past, which almost destroyed time, space, and your family! Now, (back) to your room! You can come out when you learn that no good ever came from cockamamie schemes.

Louie

Mom, I know I messed up before, but seeing all the angles is what I'm good at.

Della

[picks up and hugs him] Okay, but you need to take care to not hurt the ones you love, and I'll be here to help you see the angles you can't.

Della

Now all you have to do is turn the new company over to Scrooge and everything will go back to normal!

Scrooge

Loui~e!

Scrooge

...Louie?

Louie

HMMMMMMMM...

Della

Donald?

Donald

Della?

[in unison] WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!

Della

If you were home when I got back, you'd know I was stuck on the moon which by the way, is invading us!

Donald

I know! I warned you!

Della

We didn't get a warning!

Dewey

[breaks them up] Stop yelling at each other! [strangles Donald by the beard; savagely] I could have been named Turbo! You owe me 11 years of Turbo!

Della

[picks Dewey up] Don't change the subject! Just because I missed you doesn't mean I'm not mad at you!

Donald

I missed you too, you big dummy!

Della

Let's go face the unknown together. So, any ideas on how to get back or…?

Fethry

[off-screen] Ahoy there! [riding on Mitzi, with Gladstone in tow]

Huey

[gasps excitedly] Mitzi?

Della

Cousin Gladstone?! Cousin Fethry?!

Fethry

Della? Donald? Huey? Dewey? Green kid? Girl kid? Airplane? Palm tree? [Gladstone annoyingly shoves a watermelon in his mouth, getting him to stop talking] Mmm…

Gladstone

Hey, fam! Want some melon? [after commercial break] …Luckily, my blimp was blown clear of the invasion and out to sea. That's where Fethry and the lovely Mitzi found me. And just as I was getting peckish, we saw these melons floating in the ocean which led us here. Crazy, huh? This is delicious! You want some, Donaldo?

Fethry

You guys need a lift?

Scrooge

Would you knock it off with the song?!

Huey

Wait, that song. Is that the Tittertwill Bird of Knowledge?!

Louie

The whobada bird of what now?

Huey

The legendary mascot of the Woodchucks! Descended from the personal pet of Isabella Finch herself!

Dewey

It wasn't distracting us. It was guiding us to Finch's treasure!

Scrooge

I cannae believe it. The last treasure of Isabella Finch!

Webby

It was under our noses this whole time!

It's more precious than I ever could've imagined.

Louie

The treasure is a book?! Boo!

Scrooge

It's Finch's Lost Adventure Journal! It contains all the adventures she had, advice she left for future generations.

Webby

She really did have the answer to everything.

Scrooge

Or almost everything...

Huey

The Missing Mysteries? This is a list of legends Finch never found! The Stone of What Was! The Lost Harp of Mervana! The Third Eye Diamond! This could help us find the greatest lost mysteries of all time!

Scrooge

Now that is an adventure. What do ya say, family?

Yeah!

Dewey

My name is Dewey!

Gandra

The ducks found the journal.

Black Heron

Access to the most mysterious relics lost to time.

Bradford

Then the race is on.

Young Donald

Oh, boy! Jackpot! Wait, it's just an old dime. Oh, new pick.

Scrooge

[takes back the dime and reads a letter from his sister, Hortense] "Dear Scrooge, I am sending your angel niece and nephew, Della and Donald, to stay with you while their father is in the hospital. A giant firecracker exploded under his chair. The little darlings are so playful. I hope you enjoy them. Your sister, Hortense." [crumples up the letter and throws it in the trash can Duckworth's holding] I am a multi-billionaire businessman, not a babysitter. I do not have time for this!

Young Donald

Same old grouchy uncle. Today's gonna be a total bummer.

Young Della

No way! Uncle Scrooge toppled the Colossus of the Nile. He discovered the Treasure of the Ten Avatars. So what crazy fun adventure do we have on deck for today?

Scrooge

I do not adventure.

Young Della

I'm looking at a big room of gold that says different.

Scrooge

My expeditions were grueling, treacherous, and only served to build my company and my fortune. Nothing fun about them. These days, I've left all that behind to focus on a new kind of conquest… Corporate conquest.

Young Della

Oh.

Black Heron

Oh, what a rush. We got them!

Bradford

That was terrible.

Black Heron

That was classic.

Bradford

Why did we reveal ourselves?! We could have landed the plane safely, captured them. I--

Black Heron

Embrace your wild side, Bradford. We're supervillains.

Bradford

No, we are not. Your showboating is going to cost us the papyrus.

Black Heron

Please, there is no way that Scrooge and his brats are going to survive the… [the plane flys and lands past them]

We're alive! Yay!

Bradford

Ugh, let's move.

Ah, looks like I win.

Della

Well, dag! Guess you hit the jackpot, too, Don.

Fethry

Donald, allow me to bequeath you a bon voyage gift. May it help you pick up tiny items on your journey.

Della

Journey?

Oh, he must be confused.

Donald

[covers Fethry's mouth; sweating nervously] Crazy Cousin Fethry.

Fethry

Oh, so you're not leaving with your lady love to sail the ocean blue? And it won't just be the two of you on the houseboat, far away from your family which I'm not supposed to tell Dell--

Della

Uh, what? You're leaving?
